The Obama regime is on a political witch hunt for communists and communist sympathizers?

You and Ailes are wrong about McCarthy. He was not on a 'witch hunt.' The US government WAS (and now is) shot through with communists. From Harry Dexter White, senior advisor to Roosevelt and Truman, who 'negotiated' key agreements with the Soviets while all the time a Soviet agent:

to Henry Wallace, Roosevelt's vice-president who was also a communist.

The leftists in the media have smeared McCarthy but at least here we should have the truth.
